| Winter has come | |
| To seal my fate | |
| Just a year ago I took that final step | |
| Took a gun and cut my sweet young lover down | |
| The newspaper said that the bad and the beautiful | |
| Carry the burden of love | |
| Now I simply refuse to cry | |
| With a secret I'll take to my grave | |
| For I have but an hour to go | |
| Now the hangman approaches death row | |
| Oh Billy love your child has grown | |
| I only hope that he won't be his mother's son | |
| With a vein of madness poisoning his soul | |
| Regrets I have none but the bad and the beautiful | |
| Carry the burden of love | |
| Now I simply refuse to cry... | |
| Goodbye to the world I love | |
| You have done me no good, you know | |
| My lullaby is a bell that tolls | |
| As the hangman approaches death row | |
| Now I simply refuse to cry... |
